Inspiration, Motivation and things that Uplift and make me Happy
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ~Bruce Lee || Read more
I probably should call this a pot luck party as it kind of was and most people brought food, but I was told just to come and as I was running all over town and then just brought there, I just went with it and showed up. It’s the first time not taking a dish to Fatma’s for a party, but I knew she would over prepare as she always does! Fatma makes wonderful food and I want to share some of the dishes she made. I took pics when I first got there mainly of her creations, but there was more food that came after also..and desserts like Live’s lemon cheesecake Mmm! and a coconut mint chia pudding (also made by Fatma). I LOVE raw pot lucks! || Read more
Today we are going treehouse shopping. Our mission is to pick the best treehouse to spend the day in, and weekend too if you like. Or maybe we will never come back! What would make the perfect tree house for you? I think some great features would include: a tropical warm location, swings with long ropes so we can swing really high, a diving board and a deep natural pool underneath lined with plants and pebbles that filter out impurities (no chemicals or UV filters), hammocks, dry compost toilets, fruit trees nearby – a mango tree is optimal! and a nearby natural spring with pure water. We can pipe it in for running spring water if it isn’t already, solar panels to heat the water and keep the treehouse cozy on cool evenings, and to light up our glow lights. A treehouse that rocks a little in the wind, just slightly, nothing scary, would be good. || Read more
Our location of the day takes us to Iquitos, Peru where we will board the M/V Aqua, the first luxury cruise ship on the Amazon River. It is only 130 feet long and accommodates 24 guests plus cruise ship crew. Not many people have associated the Amazon River with luxury but this cruise could change that. This ship is much like a large luxury cruise ship but on a smaller scale. It has a jacuzzi and gym and the windows are not like the usual small round windows, this boat has large floor to ceiling windows. We will cruise deep into the Amazonian rain forest and jungle and stop for expeditions to see monkeys, dolphins , alligators and much more.
We all would love to have a beautiful body! Well go through these pictures and get inspired. Then head straight to the gym or hit your home gym and get your workout in. A beautiful body is available for us all. We just have to put the time in and make it happen! || Read more
Our location today takes us to northern Ontario to E’Terra Samara, an eco resort designed by Farrow Partnership Architects. Here there are 12 single room tree houses nestled in the Bruce Peninsula forest, an area listed as a UNESCO World Biosphere reserve and which gives a spectacular view of Georgian Bay. || Read more
Ysabel LeMay explores the beauty, complexity and divinity found in nature in her artwork. This Canadian artist was a highly successful graphic artist, but left corporate advertising to devote herself to painting full time from 2002 to 2010, when she turned her attention to photography. Her works look like high realism paintings but they are a process that she calls photo fusion, a lengthy process in which she takes hundreds of photographs and assembles them one at a time into her composition. Each piece takes 4 to 8 weeks to complete. || Read more
